Hello! First time here, and first time for me going to the botanical gardens in Oslo. There i found this strange hanging plant with no explanation to it. It seemed to contain its own bit of dirt/subtrate. Most curious thing ive seen today.. Among other interesting plants. Anyone know what this is?

Bird’s Nest Fern.
Staghorn Fern.
I think i see at least three different plants. The center piece is a staghorn fern and over that is a species of drynaria. There might also be another fern next to that but i cant tell if that’s something else or the drynaria’s young growth.

Staghorn w a blue star fern on top
Big staghorn ferns are often hung like this. They usually grow in the crevasses of large trees with shady canopies.
A staghorn fern! You can tell (by the way it is) by the leaves that form the kind of shield around the base
It’s a Staghorn fern. Beautiful and can grow to extra-large proportions. Frequently seen hanging a few feet below the underside of a large tree like an Oak.
